Lauren Brettschneider

Director of Operations and Sales

Born in New York, raised in northern California, Lauren worked most of her life in the corporate world but in 2015, she discovered hydroponic farming and fell in love with idea of being able to provide chefs/restaurants with fresh local greens. With that, she created Rebel Farm, spending the next 5 years running the business, farming, and getting to know her community. As the pandemic was extremely impacting to the business, she decided to sell at the end of 2020 and sadly heard that the farm was closed after about a year. In 2022 she attended Cook Street School of Culinary Arts for their accelerated Culinary Arts Program but when the O’Brien’s told her that they wanted to bring back Rebel, she jumped at the chance to help make that happen. Lauren now works as their Director of Operations and Sales. She has a passion for all things food, cooking, travel, movies, and music and is excited for this new chapter of Rebel Farm!
